Apparently, Frank Omiyale (cut by CHI before SEA signed him), Deuce Lutui (didn't make the team), and Barrett Ruud (signed for veteran minimum) don't qualify into the formula. Looks like we may actually get those two comp picks. Although since we're not the Cowboys, I'm sure the NFL will find a way to screw us out of one of them.

i think we could use our 3rd and 4th to move up in the 1st or 2nd and we still have Flynn who could be worth a 3rd-5th. I could see a team in the early 2nd who did get their QB swapping up 2nd's and they get Flynn.

no only 10, i think OP has Charlie Whitehurts trade mixed up with T.Jack Trade.

Huh? There was no whitehurst trade. A compensatory pick is giving for losing a player through FA.

To sutz, yes if this is accurate the Hawks would have 12 draft picks.

Higher chances of getting those 2-3 players with 12 picks. The draft isn't like FA where you pay a premium price for premium players. It's more like the lottery and we want as many tickets as we can get.

why not just trade up major time and get like 2 first rounders and a few second rounders?

Definitely don't have the ammo to do anything close to that

Last season, Curry was on the PUP. He got off and played a few games before being released. I remember him having a couple of horrible personal fouls in the Ravens game. That may have been his last game but my memory is foggy.

Really? Cause we swapped 2nd round picks AND gave SD our 3rd round pick in 2010 to get Whitehurst. John and Pete have made some great deals and picks, but this ain't one of them.

LMAO, Clipboard Jesus definitely is not worth a 3rd rounder, or did Schneider see something we didnt?My guess is that they were only using him to "fill in" and never really planned on keeping him in as the full time starter.

Curry played in 11 games for Oakland in 2011 and only 2 games in 2012. The amount of his playing time included in the deal was never disclosed as far as I have seen, so there is no way to know yet which pick of theirs we will receive.

Wouldn't the 7th round compensatory picks be at the end of the seventh round? After all the other teams have taken their regular 7th round picks? So really what the hell good is two 7th round compensatories? Those are basically just guys that probably would have gone undrafted and you could have just invited to camp anyway.

I'm probably missing something here, but I'm labeling that as in the "Woop-de-do-da" catagory.

oh wow it appears i was wrong, we do get 12 draft pics,(I believe)4 of them are 7th rounders though. I would really like to see some trading up this year but its unlikely, Schnieder loves having multiple draft pics and his drafting process is amazing so I am ok either way.

Here's the difference this year - anyone beyond the 4th round is probably going to have a very tough time making the roster.

Being fat with picks was more important in the fist few years of the rebuild, but at this point it seems like it makes more sense to use them as trade chips.

I still think John will try and get as many picks as he can each draft just so he can take more risks or draft more players at one position as they feel better about the current roster. More picks, more chances those big swings work out.
